What STILL Hasn’t Reopened in Walt Disney World?

Since Disney World began its phased reopening back in May of 2020 with Disney Springs, a majority of the resort has been able to welcome back guests. Whether it’s in the parks or the resorts, the vast majority of the offerings available at Disney World are currently available!

Rides and Attractions

After a very long closure, the Walt Disney World Railroad finally reopened when construction on TRON Lightcycle / Run was completed. Now, other than planned refurbishments/closures, all attractions have reopened.

Entertainment

Many of the stage shows and performances (including some meet and greets) throughout the Disney Parks have returned, but there is one that remains closed since 2020. These is Voyage of the Little Mermaid in Disney’s Hollywood Studios.

We anticipate all of these locations, rides, and shows to reopen or be replaced at some point, it’s all just a matter of when Disney makes any additional announcements! When that happens, we will fill you in with all the latest reopening information.

  1. I miss Boma! The food and the cast members
    And would do Victoria and Alberts again – as we have learned, just being here is a special celebration!

  2. We were just at MK tonight – the park was open until 9PM but by 7PM there were only snack carts available for food (popcorn, pretzels and churros) This has been going on since their re-opening last summer. I would think that with the reservation system they know how many guests are coming each day and can plan to have more food available – even quick service like Launch Pad and Friar Tuck’s Tots . . . really sad to get to the park and have popcorn for dinner. MK and Disney can and should do better.

  3. We will be there next month and hoped to take a day to walk around some resorts we haven’t stayed in yet, such as Riverside and French Quarter. Though they’re not accepting reservations, are they open to pedestrian traffic? We’d love to take a stroll there to check it out.

  4. I want to hear something about the Laugh Floor. It seems like that would be a relatively easy one to re-hire cast members for since the animation for each show doesn’t change, just the jokes and interaction with the crowd. As a former “that guy”, our family can’t wait for this attraction to re-open!

  5. Hello,
    Any word on the club level rooms? I have a reservation in August at Jambo, but seriously reconsidering now, especially with Boma and Jiko closed as well :/

    1. Hi Theresa, it has! Right now only select DVC rooms are available to book like the other hotels, but can be booked by non-DVC members.
